About Cisco 5000 Series
The Cisco ENCS is a hybrid platform that combines the functionality of a traditional router and a traditional server with a smaller infrastructure footprint. Deploy network services in minutes. With the Cisco Enterprise Network Compute System, you can virtualize all your services in the branch, including routers. The ENCS 5000 provides service agility and density needed for the branch that has limited IT resources. The 5000 Series is a purpose-built compute platform optimized to run VNFs. Using VNFs saves time and simplifies operations. Zero-touch automation enables fast and flawless branch deployments and management. Cisco's open-ecosystem approach to Network Functions Virtualization (NFV) in the 5000 Series enables other vendors to have their VNFs certified to help ensure compatibility and interoperability.
